The escalating cost isn't really a surprise either. The new White Heart Lane has gone from an estimated 500m to 700m, and now quite possibly close to a billion. This is the case with Chelsea's redevelopment of Stamford Bridge also. Everton coming out and saying it by no way means they're laying the foundations for a reason to shut the idea down. People need to have more faith. It's ridiculous in here.

I've been given loads of stick about this but as I've maintained from the start, as the council are fronting the cash they could stick a running track on it for all we know.

Now also the price sky rockets. add that to moving into a desolate area with no infrastructure.....

Like I said, the whole thing is best avoided.

Disagree to be honest

No point at all in a running track unless for a planned major event.

Wanting supporter input is to ensure fans' opinions are reflected accurately - this is the same football club who, despite protests at the match, didn't think there was widespread feeling to sack Martinez the week before he went.

I don't trust the club to represent the fans' views on anything without a group of supporters doing it themselves.

Funding goes up on any project though, especially under this government!

Supposedly one if the reasons the Spurs new build sky rocketed was because they added to the original plans, added a hotel to it.

There are some very interesting videos on YouTube about the build - they have a lounge called "Tunnel Club" from which people can see into the tunnel... 2 season tickets £19 K ! ..... self service beer pumps and plumbing to deliver 10,000 pints a minute!

In my Everton heart I expected us to be immune to inflation. Let me down again Everton.

Actually you would think an astute businessman like Moshiri would have had that covered when announcing the cost in the first place . The longer he is in charge the more I think he is going to fuck it all up on and off the pitch .

We just have to sit tight and wait - but it's so important it feels excrutiating to do so.

And I liked and agreed with what @brap2 said earlier - you look for the note behind the note.

To over-simplify - if you ask two people about what they want to say to the club about their matchday experience and one says he loves the pies and one says he hates the pies - on the surface you have two completely different opinions. Whether you change the pies or keep the pies is not the issue here.You have just learned that food is important to both fans as a part of their matchday experience.

How you use that information going forward is the key to both fans being happier.

I want some fan consultation - but then let the experts do their jobs.

I expect the new ground will be the main topic at next seasons shareholder AGM

Can't see how anything like an accurate costing can be achieved until detailed plans are drawn and permissions obtained. In addition there are sure to be unexpected things come up. I can't bring to mind any major development where I haven't eventually read it cost more than originally estimated.We need to chill and stop fretting about it, it's going to happen at a pace we can't control by people with many different agendas that we aren't aware of with funds sourced from loads of people and places that we've never thought of.Basically we're helpless apart from some consultation about what will be cosmetic issues so, to paraphrase from elsewhere, just lie back and think of Everton!!
